mefflecakes Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi there I've previously set up my laptop as a hackintosh but had some very weird issues including ethernet working, then after a reboot always showing as unplugged and getting a broadcom wifi adapter working, then after a reboot showing as 'no hardware detected'. I decided to try a fresh install and it's freezing on booting to USB, with this: https://imgur.com/a/QAPDJlK This is the guide I followed: I've zipped and attached my EFI, here: https://mega.nz/#!gg1SxDSJ If anyone could take a look I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2018 It requires an Encryption Key to download. Why you don't use the attachment option from this forum? Look at the FAQ for info how to attach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefflecakes Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi :) Sorry I originally posted this on Reddit and it almost instantly got removed. Here's the attached file - I'm sure when I originally put it on Mega I selected no to decryption key, but meh :) Thanks for the guide and appreciate you looking.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2018 what BIOS version are you running? Make sure you the following settings in BIOS: UEFI AHCI Legacy Option Roms Disabled Secure Boot Disabled Installing 10.13.4? Boot to Clover GUI, hit F4. Compress and attach the Origin folder in /EFI/Clover/ACPI I'll patch the files for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefflecakes Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 UEFI - yep AHCI - yep Legacy Option Roms Disabled - yep Secure Boot Disabled - yep Installing 10.13.4? looks like this is 13.0.57. is that an issue or should I redownload and start again? Bios version is 1.5.3 Just realised I have the 'com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI' patch in place. Will that cause a problem if trying to install something other than 10.13.4? I'm struggling to find the version installed to this stick and couldn't tell you if its 10.13.4, the 'about' section of the installer shows it as '13.0.57' - not sure if that helps in anyway? I've attached the ACPI folder for you - thanks very much! Apart from everything already discussed, would you say the EFI looks right?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2018 in the installers command prompt you can type in the terminal command sw_vers it should state what os version it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2018 13.0.57 is High Sierra beta 7, very old. Download the latest which is 10.13.4 (13.4.09) According to the files in Origin, you should go with the alternative bootpack. Just replace the Config and the ACPI folder. The kexts folder looks updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefflecakes Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks. I've done what you suggested and now get this: https://imgur.com/a/XS6EjwW I've attached my newly created EFI - not sure if I've missed something? Thanks EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mefflecakes Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 One thing that I neglected to mention was that I've installed a Broadcom BCM94352Z DW1560 and I've seen you mention to somebody on a different thread that with a hardware change you might need to re-patch the DSDT/SSDT. Is it possible that's the issue? I also noticed that my bios was painfully out of date and have updated to 1.18.5 but still no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
